    Yeah seriously. Our mods are great and they take care of problems swiftly. It shouldn't offend you to see some troll comments on occasion considering the way we normally talk to each other. If we can get a couple of solid posters out of this playoff run, it will be worth idiot trolls posting. And as pointed out some of the trolling is so bad its freaking hilarious.

    Jays are toast. They totally have the look of one of those teams that have a high octane offense that goes completely cold in October as the pressure mounts. Once they lost the Price game, the pressure to win this one is going to be too much for them and they might win one in Texas but they won't make it back to Toronto.

    So are you saying we will win this in extras?

    I stopped reading here. The Cardinals haven't scored a run since clinching the division. They aren't coming out of the gate like that. Yes well Lester has given up 50% of the Cubs starters runs allowed in their last 9 games, and 100% of those runs were scored in the 1st inning, so there.

    If I may, there are plenty of bandwagon Cardinal fans. They're the ones who you see taking selfies during the games and are in the party rooms at the stadium eating and drinking and paying 0 attention to the game. Of course the club loves them because, let's face it, they don't make near as much $$ w/o them. I don't consider a fan a die hard because he happens to have enough money to go to the park often so he can be seen. I like fans who still watch the games on TV when they're down 8-4 in the 9th. Are you saying you like fans who cheer for their team the right way? Requirements of a True Fan © 1. Must continue watching games when their team is down 8-4 in the 9th, even if the house is on fire or your wife has tickets to a show 2. Must applaud loudly when a player hustles from first to third on a single, regardless of team 3. Knows that the best curtain calls occur in the 3rd inning 4. fvekck uber, iye caan drivee just ffine

    My prediction: -Lester gives up 2 in the first, everyone freaks out -Cubs go quietly the first time around the order, then Fowler gets on to lead off the 4th, with 2 outs Rizzo breaks out of his slump with a long dong to tie up -In the 7th, still tied at 2, Russell doubles home Starlin to make it 3-2 Cubs -Lester goes 8, in the 9th Rondon strikes out the side for the W Cubs win 3-2 If my prediction occurs word for word, someone must buy me a ticket to Game 3.

    Same here. I was going to go to Ann Arbor; moved that to St. Louis and I'm pumped about it. Hopefully for your sake you made the right choice, because that means the Cubs and Michigan win :)

    Funny because that was the game the Cubs blew a 6-2 lead in the top of the 9th before winning on a Castro single in the 11th. Miggy did have 2 dongs in that game though.

    Interesting article about why Coghlan might not be involved as much as he'd like the next series and possibly NLCS http://wrigleyville.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2015/10/09/grounded-coghlan-might-be-neutralized-throughout-playoffs/

    Of course Michigan/NU starts an hour before the Cubs

    Holy [expletive] how did it take me 24 hours to check White sox Interactive? Wow there is some gold on the last few pages of that flubbie thread

    Gonna guess this is another one of them Yeah, like you would know anything about a Cardinals fan pretending to be a Cubs fan. Can I somehow give you 2 hearts?
  14. UMFan83
    Obviously we don't know if this contributed at all but I didn't like last week when they skipped Price's last start, which means he had 11 days off before this start. I think the Cubs with Arrieta and Dodgers with Kershaw made the right decision. The Jays should have started Price and limited to 70-80 pitches (or whatever number they wanted) to keep him on his normal routine. Maybe this is just confirmation bias but Cole was on 9 days rest yesterday

    Congrats on getting Internet at your trailer park
  16. UMFan83
    I can't believe this is what they want after the ratings the Cubs got last night. I know I've been reading you guys debating the NY/LA thing today and obviously my judgement is biased but the Mets and Dodgers don't even seem like compelling teams
  17. UMFan83
    Maddon just said the rotation goes: G1: Lester G2: Hendricks G3: Arrieta G4: Probably Hammel but might be using him sooner

    Dammit Future Cub David Price

    I don't think it's an accident they put their most struggling of the 4 starters up against Jake

  22. UMFan83
    Watching highlights from yesterday's game since I obviously didn't watch it...did they change something with the boards at the UC? They look different for some reason. Like cleaner looking.
  23. UMFan83
    Does anyone remember how it went for the Cubs the last time they played a 5 game series against St. Louis?
  24. UMFan83
    When I die, instead of a funeral I want loved ones to gather and watch a hologram of the Schwarber HR playing on a loop.
